The war was not about weapons of mass destruction. Even ABC News is reporting that the invasion belonged to a wider (and rather fuzzy) post-9/11 plan. The idea — as regular Radio Free Mike readers know — was to fight anti-Americanism and give young Arabs hope by forcing representative democracy on a people who happened to be suffering under a brutal dictator in a central, strategically-placed Middle Eastern country. "'We were not lying [about the weapons],' said one official. 'But it was just a matter of emphasis.'" Oh.
